But before I had the chance to bring it up, I was killed by his mother and Luca.
He glanced at the table and looked annoyed.
"Enough, Zofia, every wife does laundry, cooks, takes care of children, and looks after the elderly, right?"
"You're fed and clothed, be content, okay? Don't make a fuss."
"Look, I just got back, and you're so eager to rub it in my face?"
I was in a hurry.
Of course, I was in a hurry.
The 980,000 he borrowed for his start-up was all taken by his mother.
If I didn't leave then, did I have to stay and share his debt?
Aarav could say whatever he wanted.
I only have one sentence as a response. "I don't want to live this way, I want a divorce."
He lost his patience when he saw that I wasn't budging.
"You can divorce, but you can't take Luca with you."
I almost laughed out loud.
I wouldn't take him even if he begged me.
"He's an adult, he doesn't need my support anymore. Besides, I can't afford it. I've decided, I'm leaving empty-handed."
"Whether you're poor or rich in the future, it has nothing to do with me."
"Whether I live or die, it has nothing to do with the Marsh family."
His lips twitched, he stared at the table, pondering something.
After a while, the gloom on his face cleared significantly.
"Are you sure?"
I know he'd been tired of me for a long time.
In my previous life, after Luca's amputation, I ran into Aarav's former colleague when I was shopping for groceries. That's when I found out Aarav was seeing someone else.
He doesn't want a divorce, not because he has feelings for me.
He has me as a free nanny, why not use me as much as possible?
Besides, if we divorce, I'll have to split the property with him and fight for Luca's custody.
Now that I said all this, he was probably overjoyed.
Sure enough, he signed the papers with a flourish.
After signing, he rubbed his hands, seemingly unsure, and tested the waters.
"You won't regret this in a few days, will you?"
"I'm telling you, I don't have time to joke with you."
As I packed up, I tried to persuade him.
"You make a good point, so why don't we just get a divorce right now?"
...
That day, we hurriedly got divorced.
Stuffing the divorce certificate into my bag, I finally felt a weight lift off my chest.
When we parted, I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
He frowned.
"What's wrong? You think I'm heartless?"
"Make it clear, I'm not the one who doesn't want you, you're the one insisting on divorce."
